2018: What's Next?

The last quarter of 2017 wasn't as productive as I hoped. I'd been trying to release the first book in my new series in November or December. Unfortunately, the original storyline didn't work to my satisfaction, so I ended up having to rewrite the book almost from scratch.

The new story Outlands Justice, Book One of A Crucible of Worlds, will be out later this year. It's a new genre for me, combining fantasy and steampunk with Old West themes and elements. The blurb and a character sketch is up on my website (www.cjcarella.com).

Once Outlands Justice is out, I'll start working on a new series set in the Warp Marines universe, The Bicentennial War. The first book of that series, To The Strongest, takes place some twenty-odd years after the end of Havoc of War, and features old and new characters as the US and the Known Galaxy face a new crisis.

2016 and 2017 were very good to me, thanks to all the readers who gave my books a chance and enjoyed them enough to read through every sequel. I hope 2018 continues that trend.
